Cartoon Dog Holding a Big Bone

Coloring guide
Sitting upright on a small patch of grass, this cheerful puppy holds a big cartoon bone crosswise in its mouth. The eyes are large and round with shiny highlights, the nose is small and rounded, and floppy ears hang down both sides. A little tuft of fur sticks up on the head, and a fluffy ruff runs down the chest. Motion lines near the curled tail make it look like it's wagging. There are grass tufts by the front paws, and the paws have clearly drawn toes. Bold outlines and big shapes make this a good fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Golden-yellow or soft brown suits the fur, cream works for the bone, and fresh green is right for the grass. Print or download this free page for a quiet creative moment. Looking for more?
